Baja Peppers and Mon…

Baja Peppers and Monterey Jack Cheese Turkey & Chicken sausage on the grill, and me…blogging. What’s nice about living in the South is that barbeque season gets an early start. I could have started even earlier (and have) but for the 2005 season, grilling at our house started today; early March (at 7pm, no less). It’s dark enough that I have a flashlight with me so I can see how done the meat is, but later on in the summer it’ll be plenty bright enough.

So I’m sitting here on the back patio, listening to the sizzle as the fat hits the bottom of the grill, and as the wind chimes toll quietly. (It was very breezy earlier today as my son has his first “exhibition” game for little league, but that’s all calmed down now.) The wind and the sizzle are all well and good, but there are other sounds, more suburban, as well; a plane passing overhead (not loud, really), someone calling their kid back home, and a slight rumble of the nearby US highway. Nothing disturbing to the senses at all really.

(Pause as I move the sausages up to a higher rack.)

It’s a bit cool, so I have my jacket on, but that’s not stopping the grilling. Yeah, I could have cooked them on the stove top, but they always taste so much better coming off the grill. Everyone in this house agrees.

Well, don’t want to burn ’em, and they’re just beginning to burst their casings, so time for supper. My company got me a new laptop recently (had the previous one 5 years…it was time) and it picks up my wireless network a whole lot better than the card I had in my previous one, so I might do more of this backyard blogging in the future. Stay tuned.

(Or “beware”, as the case may be.)
